Archiving the day-to-day events of my life for my own amusement.

I Survived the Bachelor Party

Most of the time, I like to recall every little detail of a weekend festivity on the blog. But I think the best way to hear my stories from this past weekend are to hear them in person from me or someone else on the trip. Or by looking at the photos, some of which I plan to upload somewhere on the web today.

The brief synopsis of the weekend festivities are as follows. Caravan of cars drove from the Twin Cities to Carpenter, stopping at various bars along the way. Saturday, everyone played yard games and got some sun and hung out on the farm. That night, we ate dinner in Willow Lake and boarded the party bus at 8. The bus stopped in DeSmet, Iroquois, Cavour, and Yale before dropping us off at home. I think it’s safe to say that the co-best men and I got the rowdiest. Sunday some of us stuck around in the afternoon and watched the Vikings before heading back home.

Dad, Stuart, Alex, and I start the night off at the Lounge.

I had a great time aside from the vomiting and want to thank everyone who made the trip! Besides Alex, I think everyone who was there had to travel at least 120 miles, and some as far as 350.

The next wedding event to come up is Lauren’s local shower this weekend, and then the wedding in 26 days. As much fun as everything has been, I think I will be relieved to get back to our old routine in a month.

This is me.

A native of Carpenter, South Dakota, I spent several years in Minneapolis and now reside in Austin, Texas. I am 32 and work as the E-mail Marketing Manager for Callaway Golf (views are my own). I spend my free time cheering for the Minnesota Twins, singing karaoke, blogging (obviously) and trying new beers. I yearn to one day own a bar.

This is my wife.

Lauren and I met November 30, 2007 and got married October 10, 2009. She is a native of Excelsior, MN but went to college in Canada. Lauren recently was promoted at Whole Foods in the Southwest US regional office here in Austin as a Buyer. Lauren can often be found knitting, chatting on her online message board with fellow yarn enthusiasts, enjoying a glass of wine, or being a top-notch mommy.

This is our son.

John is closing in on his first birthday already. He has recently begun to crawl and pull himself up. He eats anything we put in front of him, but he highly prefers to feed himself. He squirms like crazy during diaper and clothing changes making the task very difficult! He adores Baxter and thinks it's hilarious to feed him from his high chair.

This is our dog.

Poor, poor Baxter. Once the center of our lives, Baxter has taken a backseat to baby Johnny the past few months. We can't possibly give him the attention he craves, but he does get daily walks and some occasional doggy dates with best bud Eli, or sent to doggy daycare for a day. He has developed a taste for baby formula.
